SUMMARY:the-ebbing-curve-of-forgetfulness
DESCRIPTION:The Ebbing Curve of Forgetfulness \n\n\n\nDuncan McAfee \n\n\n\n\n\nOpening Night Drinks Reception Friday 21st April @ 7PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBen Oakley Gallery is proud to present ‘The Ebbing Curve of Forgetfulness’. The first solo exhibition to take place in our new building will include more than 30 recent paintings and drawings by South London based artist Duncan McAfee. \n\n\n\nSpanning the last seven years of McAfee’s practice the works in this exhibition all share a consistent mix-and-match attitude to image making\, splicing together misremembered elements to create his hybrid images. The title for the exhibition comes out of a conversation about the work in relation to Russell Hoban’s 1980 novel Riddley Walker and the creative act of memory to fill in the gaps of what’s forgotten. Trying to remember Hermann Ebbinghaus’ ‘forgetting curve’\, a late 19thC mathematical formula that depicts how the rate of human memory decays over time\, our title ‘The Ebbing Curve of Forgetfulness’ is itself a misquotation\, a faulty memory\, borrowed and misplaced in perfect parallel with the works on display.‘Drunks’ and ‘Portraits of Drunks’ (2017) here are literally steeped in wine\, the paper covered in evocative pools of dried red residue. To paint in wine plays with ideas around transubstantiation and religious icons; are these drunks or saints? The wine forms shapes like the ink-blots developed by psychologist Hermann Rorschach in the 1920s. These have been responded to with painting and drawing\, teasing out some figurative or narrative strain highlighting or obscuring certain elements. There’s a fun interplay between the marks made by intention and the materials doing their own thing\, a sort of collaboration between artist and material. The process is like a game of consequences\, a surrealist Exquisite Corpse\, or maybe some form of competition. \n\n\n\nOf course this is a fantasy\, the ink\, the paint\, the wine are all dead matter. But McAfee plays with this fantasy\, it’s somehow necessary to reach a new painting\, not a facsimile or an interpretation but an unplanned image arisen from the process of its own making. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the more recent works (‘Exploding Heads’ 2019-2021\, ’Kerfuffle’ 2022) red wine substitute (fake wine for fake religious paintings!) is spattered across the painted surfaces suggesting transubstantiation\, intoxication and cartoon violence. Reflecting the uncertainties of our times\, the population of cartoonish characters the artist depicts seem anxious and manic from overexposure\, all wide eyes and gritted teeth. There are references following the lineage of Picasso to Bacon\, through Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism to Condo and his ‘Psychological Cubism’. McAfee draws from and collages together his personal\, art history and popular culture creating works full of contradictions: They’re irreverant and sincere\, humorous and grotesque\, accidental and intentional\, timid and boisterous\, anxious yet joyous and celebratory.   \n\n\n\nDuncan McAfee (b. 1976) graduated from Chelsea School of Art in 2000 and has been on the Turps Banana Off-Site Programme since 2021. \n\n\n\nDirections to Ben Oakley Gallery: \n\n\n\nNelson Arcade SE10 9JB runs between Greenwich Market \n\n\n\n2 mins from Greenwich Cutty Sark DLR \n\n\n\nand Nelson Road. \n\n\n\n5 minute walk from Greenwich Overground (10 mins from London Bridge)

SUMMARY:AND ACTION..TAKE TWO
DESCRIPTION:Opening Night Drinks Reception Friday 1st April @ 7pm  \n\n\n\nExhibition runs till 24th April 2022 \n\n\n\nWe will never forget that fated evening on Friday 13th  2020 when Ben Addison’s ‘And Action’ first Solo show in London opened and then closed the very same day & the world changed for ever. We love Ben Addison’s work so much we felt it deserved a proper viewing.  So this time\, do you feel lucky? Well\, if so join us at Ben Oakley Gallery down in Greenwich 9 Turnpin Lane SE10 from 7pm -10pm for the opening drinks reception on Friday April 1st 2022.   \n\n\n\nA new exhibition with seven fresh unseen oil Paintings. \n\n\n\n‘AND ACTION…TAKE TWO’  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany of you may know the multi gifted Addison as song writer performer with the band Corduroy playing their signature Acid Jazz tunes around the globe for the last 25 years or the Boys Wonder before that.  But in the background as well as treading the boards working in Fashion & the Design industry Addison has been hard at work perfecting his true love of painting. His influences like in music come from American Detective Films and TV and carry a feel good narrative of a bygone era. Each painting is deftly finished they have great clarity and movement and contain a powerful dynamic with impact. \n\n\n\nFOR A FULL PDF OF THE SHOW PLEASE EMAIL \n\n\n\ninfo@benoakleygallery.comWe look forward to seeing you all on the night or throughout the show.Many thanks Ben

SUMMARY:THE RETURN OF LONDON'S No1                       RAY RICHARDSON
DESCRIPTION:Opening Night Drinks Reception Friday 3rd December @ 7pm \n\n\n\n‘The Return Of London’s No1’ \n\n\n\nRay Richardson ( British born1964) \n\n\n\nDuring lockdown 2020 Richardson with his Return of the Southpaw training regime\, maintained keeping his eye and hand coordination painting away in his apartment dubbed ‘The Indoor League Studio’ just to try to keep a level of sanity and purpose whilst unable to visit his usual studio by the Thames. \n\n\n\nWith his trusted dog and best pal Wee Bri by his side\, the one man and his dog dynamic duo were at home alone for 12 weeks. \n\n\n\nIn that time he generously utilised ‘The Artists Pledge’\, produced a selection of cracking works for the NHS and variety of charities as well as a raft of handsome oil paintings on board that are full of tales filled with instant richness.  \n\n\n\nPainted with optimism “holding the board in one hand and swivelling them round bought a spontaneity to the work bringing us a bit of hope coming up & out into the light”. The Title of the show links on from his sell out show at the Ben Oakley Gallery ten years ago in 2012 and we welcome the artist back for round two. \n\n\n\nThese affordable unseen little gems will be on show at The Ben Oakley Gallery Opening Fri 3rd December from 7pm and will run until 19th Dec 2021 We look forward to seeing you all as we wrap up our year long schedule of excellent artist shows. And finally we would like to thank everyone who has supported us in any way over this last tough year\, we hope you all keep well and have a safe and happy Christmas.

SUMMARY:'YOU IZ A MACHINE' JOHN McCARTHY
DESCRIPTION:Opening Night Drinks Reception Friday 12th November @ 7pm \n\n\n\n“I’ve always collected vintage images. Old comics\, magazines\, posters and books\, not in a ‘stick ’em in a big bag in the loft’ kind of way\, but stored in large white boxes and placed in large white cupboards. Stanley Kubrick did the same thing (though his was a warehouse). They’re not precious\, though. I didn’t mind if they get damaged or creased up. In fact they sometimes look better if they are damaged. This lead to an idea of making paper collages of the ripped and torn images. I did quite a few small versions of these on birch panels and exhibited them. They all sold really quickly. In fact\, I don’t have any left in the studio. Not one. This lead to another idea of making paintings of the paper collages I had made. They were the same size. Sometimes you couldn’t tell which were the paper collages and which were the paintings. I liked this idea. Eventually\, I made more paper collages (digitally) and turned them into more paintings. This lead to another idea of making large paintings of the paper collages. This exhibition; YOU IZ A MACHINE\, brings together those paintings for the first time. The title of the show came from a conversation I overheard about getting things done. All artists are machines.” – John McCarthy September 2021 \n\n\n\nWe’ve all been mesmerised in previous shows @benoakleygallery by John McCarthys phenomenal photorealist paintings. You’d think that would be enough talent for one artist\, well\, we’ve managed to coax out another first as McCarthy puts a whole new collection together for the Premier Showing of his collage paintings. Inspired by his love of vintage images\, magazines\, books and old comics these large format works on canvas have big impact skilfully filling the room with bold colour and the technical expertise were used to seeing.   \n\n\n\nPlease Scan QR Code for YOU IZ A MACHINE  PDF .  We look forward to seeing on the night or throughout the show.Many thanks Ben \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Virtual Exhibition is now live!

SUMMARY:EVEN NATURE HAS ITS PRICE
DESCRIPTION:Opening Night Drinks Reception Friday 15th October from 7pm \n\n\n\nThis dynamic exhibition brings together two very experienced street artists\, both who have the natural world and it’s fragile existence in mind. Independently they create beautiful oversized mural exterior pieces across the World\, combining classical painting techniques with a poignant message. The Ben Oakley Gallery has drawn them in for a unique exhibition of studio pieces entitled \n\n\n\n ‘EVEN NATURE HAS ITS PRICE’. \n\n\n\nExpect a beautiful range of delicate paintings and line drawings from both artists on Canvas\, Paper and a variety of Framed Banknotes. \n\n\n\nBoth artists will be in attendance on the night and will be painting an exterior wall in Greenwich in the lead up to opening so keep em peeled. \n\n\n\nThere is a PDF available. info@benoakleygallery.com \n\n\n\nJACQUELINE DE MONTAIGNE is an Anglo-Portuguese painter\, mural and paste-up artist and is flying over for the show\, her dramatic\, nature infused figurative art can be found in international galleries and Europe’s prominent street art scene where her use of classical gilding techniques in an urban context\, has become her signature. \n\n\n\nJacquelines work is introspective and autobiographical\, where the artist uses secondary texts\, images and the visual identity of her figures to explore our true nature versus imposed beliefs and societal meanings. \n\n\n\nATM. \n\n\n\nIt was in the midst of lockdown\, all my street artwork painting on walls was cancelled. I was lying on my back\, listless as the days merged into each other without definition or routine. Jacqueline de Montaigne and I had taken part in a group show at the Ben Oakley Gallery but had never met. She proposed a two-person show after bumping into Stuart from the Inspiring City Blog who introduced my work to her whilst she was painting in Lisbon. The proposal gave me a purpose\, something to work towards\, producing small paintings on the themes of nature and its exploitation. \n\n\n\nPainting endangered birds on banknotes is a perfect metaphor for the relationship between money and environmental destruction. From the felling of ancient forests to the insidious overuse of pesticides\, herbicides and fertilizers\, making money all the way without concern for the environmental costs to land\, river and sea\, nature is under threat as never before. \n\n\n\nThe paintings on old master prints look at what we consider sacred\, and the possibilities for change in our conception of what is of most value in the world. \n\n\n\nWe are collaborating on an exterior wall in Greenwich in the week leading up to the exhibition which opens 7pm Friday 15th October 2021 @benoakleygallery \n\n\n\nPlease request a PDF if you’re interested.  We look forward to seeing on the night or throughout the show.Many thanks Ben

SUMMARY:DAVID BRAY | MARK MELVIN EXHIBITION
DESCRIPTION:COUNTY LINES \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ben Oakley Gallery has worked closely with both artists over its illustrious 10 years situated in Greenwich London SE10.  \n\n\n\nDavid Bray has gone through a total art transformation from producing exquisite fine art Illustrations to his current delivery of abstract landscapes. Since moving to the Garden of England only a few years ago he has produced a fantastic body of accomplished landscape paintings\, as though he’s been painting all his life. The depth\, movement and mood that Bray manages to layer into his Turner esq vignettes are nothing short of breath taking.  \n\n\n\nMark Melvin has always loved the world of art\, including the old Masters and Renaissance painters but was propelled in the contemporary art world after watching a film of one of our most established Artists Ray Richardson on BBC2 many years ago. It was then Melvin had his epiphany and enough inspiration from that alone to begin a career in the art world. After teaching himself Melvin began to create paintings in oil of exactly what was disappearing right in front of him\, London\, Architecture especially Brutalism\, including the graffiti covered hoardings and barriers as London got gentrified. His love of Brutalist architecture has had Melvin running all over town for the last ten years to find remaining interesting buildings\, sketching initially then taking them into the studio to complete each painting.

SUMMARY:RAY RICHARDSON | MARK HAMPSON EXHIBITION
DESCRIPTION:‘Brother from another Mother’ – Two Man Show – Don’t miss it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaving exhibited together over 20 years ago in Tokyo\, old friends Ray Richardson & Mark Hampson have been bought back together in a two man show entitled ‘Brother from another Mother’ to be held at the Ben Oakley Gallery in Greenwich on Friday 11th October 2019. \n\n\n\nThough their lives have been at the opposite ends of the country they have kept more than in touch\, keeping a keen eye on each other’s careers as they both carved out very respectable grooves in the art world.  \n\n\n\nMark Hampson hails from the North: is a painter printmaker and the Head of Material Processes in the Royal Academy\, he combines fantastical subjects with both contemporary and traditional techniques to create intricate pieces of work.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHampson\, is represented in numerous private and public collections including the V&A Museum\, The Arts Council of Great Britain\, Hyundai Arts Collection\, the Metropolitan Museum in New York\, Krakow Museum and the Osaka Prefectural Government collection. \n\n\n\nRay Richardson hails from the South; he has immersed himself in Oil painting & Print making over the last two decades and has created a very recognisable style.

SUMMARY:RAY RICHARDSON | MARK HAMPSON - Opening Night Drinks Reception
DESCRIPTION:“Two Man Show – Don’t miss it!” \n\n\n\nBROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOPENING NIGHT DRINKS RECEPTION \n\n\n\nHaving exhibited together over 20 years ago in Tokyo\, old friends Ray Richardson & Mark Hampson have been bought back together in a two man show entitled ‘Brother from another Mother’ to be held at the Ben Oakley Gallery in Greenwich on Friday 11th October 2019. \n\n\n\nThough their lives have been at the opposite ends of the country they have kept more than in touch\, keeping a keen eye on each other’s careers as they both carved out very respectable grooves in the art world.  \n\n\n\nMark Hampson hails from the North: is a painter printmaker and the Head of Material Processes in the Royal Academy\, he combines fantastical subjects with both contemporary and traditional techniques to create intricate pieces of work.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHampson\, is represented in numerous private and public collections including the V&A Museum\, The Arts Council of Great Britain\, Hyundai Arts Collection\, the Metropolitan Museum in New York\, Krakow Museum and the Osaka Prefectural Government collection. \n\n\n\nRay Richardson hails from the South; he has immersed himself in Oil painting & Print making over the last two decades and has created a very recognisable style. He has been included in public exhibitions such as REALITY: Modern & Contemporary British Painting\, his work is in the permanent collection at the National Portrait Gallery and the British Museum. His paintings are effortlessly assembled together\, made up of a lifetime of gritty observation and experience from pavement to penthouse with his feet firmly on the ground.  \n\n\n\n\n\n“It’s as if you can hear the music playing soulfully in the background of these self made arenas. This in turn adds to the layers of atmosphere in the paintings helping set the scene\, leaving one imagining what preceded this frame and what is going to happen in the next” \n\n\n\nBen Oakley Gallery are extremely proud to show both artists in one show and are really looking forward to Brother from another Mother and hope you can make it on the opening night or throughout the exhibition.
